FAQs

Here are some common questions

Do I Need an Appointment?

This is probably one of our most frequently asked questions, You deserve an amazing experience while shopping for your dress! By booking an appointment, you are reserving a time for one-on-one attention for you and your guests to help you find the perfect dress. Each wedding dress appointment. is 1.5 hours long. Shopping for your wedding gown is unlike any other clothes shopping you’ve done! This is the dress you want to feel amazingly confident and exquisite in, while all eyes are on you coming down the aisle. You are going to want the help of one of our Bridal Boutique team members, who have taken the bridal consultants course, with all their knowledge to help try on gowns you feel you want to try, or have saved pictures of, and find the perfect dress. Team BBAZ staff will listen to what you are looking for and your venue info etc. to help pinpoint what is the best gowns to match up to all your particulars, as well as you find the best dress that will show off all your best assets.

When should I start looking for my wedding dress?

The knot, along with many blogs, wedding websites and so forth suggests that you start looking for your dress about a year in advance, and we couldn’t agree more. If you have the time to start looking a year ahead, do yourself this favor! The last thing you want is to feel extra stress in your wedding planning because you waited until the last minute to look for your wedding gown. When you order your wedding dress it can typically take up to 6-8 months to come in. This is because each dress is custom ordered just for you! You also want to allow plenty of time for alterations! Most seamstresses will like to have about three fittings with you in your dress and this part takes time. They need to be able to get your dress to fit you as best as possible, and this involves a lot of intricate work. So, if you have the time, start shopping early so you don’t have to order your dress on a rush cut and pay extra for rushed alteration. Plus, knowing what your dress looks like will help you have a better idea of what to choose for your bridal party!

Who should I bring with me to my appointment?

When deciding who to bring with you to your appointment, you want to think about who will help you with this process and who may make it more difficult. Limit your entourage to two or three others who you trust and love. It helps keep your judgment clear and experience stress free! To many opinions can cause many different choices, therefore dresses, and confuse the bride to wha SHE REALLY WANTED. We limit your guests to five, especially on weekends, as there is only so much seating, and we want to serve everyone with the same comparable appointment. We do have private appointments in our VIP room, for an extra charge, as goodies, drinks and unique packages can be purchased. As well, the fee can be applied to your gown purchase. Please see the “ VIP ROOM APPOINTMENTS” TO SEE THE DIFFERENT PACKAGES WE OFFER AND IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, GIVE US A CALL OR EMAIL US!

What if I already have a dress in mind?

Great! Bring pictures with you to show your stylist what you are drawn toward, BUT please keep an open mind! Most brides fall in love with a dress that is the complete opposite of what they have in mind. Be sure to try on what you think you love along with some things your Bridal Boutique TEAM may choose that you really aren’t loving at first glance. Trust that she wants to help you find the perfect dress (because that’s what we are here for and we love it!) and try on a few things she might pick for you. Keeping an open mind will help make the process of finding the perfect dress so much easier on you!

Do you offer alterations on site?

While this is available to you, with our highly experienced, and amazingly talented on site seamstresses, it is not required in any way to work with our seamstresses.. At your appointment, your seamstress will be able to provide you with a custom price for the work that is needed for your gown, once it has arrived or if you have purchased an in stock gown. They typically will need 2 to 3 fittings, and if you are a bride, they like to have about 2- 3 months depending on the time of year it is, to complete the work. Finally, just a little advice for shopping for your dress: HAVE FUN! Finding your dress should be one of the most exciting parts of planning for your beautiful day! At Bridal Boutique of Arizona, OUR PASSION IS FASHION, and love working with our brides to help them find the perfect dress, and are honored you would give us the opportunity. We hope to see you here for an appointment and would love to help you find the dress you fall in love with.
